The Scene:

His name is Inaki Aizpitarte, the Basque-born chef behind acclaimed eatery Le Chateaubriand, and he's set-up a second tapas-theme eatery in the same neighborhood aptly named Dauphin (or heir apparent). The name actually hasn't changed since the restaurant's previous owner, but the look the look and appeal most definitely  has with signature of retractable glass edifice, slabs of white marble on walls and ceiling with reflective room dividers all penned by the Dutch architectural firm of Rem Koolhas with Clément Blanchet. Inside, a collection of simple wood tables with bistro chairs and backless stools surrounds a boisterous bar, also marble, that's mostly for dining as locals snap-up any spot they can for the nightly dinner service.
